what is the meaning of "vuelvete"

Question

I tried to enter a page in my Facebook after the session had finished. There was a dialog box with "Tu sesion ha terminado. Por favor, vuelvete a conectar. " written in it. I think the "vuelvete" comes from "volver", but i can't figure out which form of the verb. I tried looking in the conjugation table, but to no avail. Could anybody help me??

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Vuelvete is an informal command meaning "return yourself."

vuelve=return (command form) te=yourself (in this context)

In total, the phrase "Tu sesion ha terminado. Por favor, vuelvete a conectar." means "Your session has ended. Please, return to connect." (more or less)

Answer 2

vuélvete a conectar = connect again

vuelve = return, come back

Answer 3

HI smalleye, very nicely set out post

When volver is used as an auxiliary it does not mean come back but it "do again".

Volver a concectar: conect again

The form: imperative second person, vuelve (tú) = vuélvete a conectar

Answer 4

roughly; please connect or try again

Answer 5

Wait a minute!

vuelve a conectarte and vuélvete a conectar are the same --- right?

There seems to be some confusion here.

• yes that is the same - Heidita Nov 21, 2009
• Si eso es lo mismo. (:D) - EdiOswaldo Nov 21, 2009

Answer 6

"Volver" means to return "te" is the reflexive pronoun meaning yourself the term "vuelvete" is the informal command meaning return or go back. Therefore "vuelvete a conectar" means connect again

Answer 7

There is another use of volver like in:

Los diamantes se vuelven invisibles cuando se sumergen en agua

Diamonds become invisible when immersed in water.

Por favor, vuélvete millonario y comprame un automóvil nuevo!

Please, get rich and buy me a new car!.

Another synonyms: vuélvete = conviértete = transfórmate

Vuélvete un hombre de mundo y serás admirado por todos.

Conviértete en un hombre de mundo y serás admirado por todos.

Transfórmate en un hombre de mundo y serás admirado por todos.

Become a cosmopolitan man and everyone will admire you.

Answer 8

Heidita is right on. Additionally, "te" in this context doesn't necessarily mean "yourself," but simply re-enforcing the fimiliar form of you. It could also by worded, "Vuelve a conectar." This is the kind of thing where translation can lead you astray. Another example: a song by Carlos y Aída Cuevas called "Vuelveme a Querer." Word-for word translation would make rubbish out of this one ("Return Me To Love'). It really means "Love me Again." In the end, after learning a suitable vocabulary, the thought or complete idea must be translated.
